Hi everyone.
Wondering if any one can help. The following code below is used in a
large excel spreadsheet with a ton of numbers. in the top row (1) are
reference numbers which at this preliminary stage in my coding I am just
trying to find. (the reference numbers are in the sheet like this ex.
100,040 I hope the comma is not a big deal)

Code:
Sub ref()

Dim RefNumber As Long
Dim RefFound As Range
RefNumber = Application.InputBox("Reference #", "Meter Point Reference_
Number", , , , , , 4)

Set RefFound = Cells.Find(what:=RefNumber, *REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT_ TO
PUT HERE", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows,_
SearchDirection:=xlNext)

MsgBox "Found Reference # at column" & RefFound.Column

End Sub

I had gotten it to run but for every reference number I tried it gave me
a column of 238 (even when i changed the reference number to a different
corresponding column). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[For those wondering my goal is: find reference number, find last row
with data in the column, copy range, paste into new sheet.]

You might want to change SearchOrder to search by columns, and LookAt
might be better as 'xlWhole'. Don't enter the comma in the input box if
it's there due to number formatting.
